A Day in Times Square

This photo shows a street scene from a typical day in Times Square, New York City. This is near 42nd Street & Broadway, one of the busiest intersections in Manhattan. This photo was shot more than a decade ago with a Canon 10D (6-megapixels) DSLR camera and Tokina 19-35mm lens. I’m reminded of the rather restricted dynamic range of early digital cameras with this photo. Much of the shadow detail is lost in order to preserve highlight details in the sky. With modern DSLR cameras, you would see more of the subtle details in the shadows. But that restriction does add some personality to this photo.
